Can you melt TPEs? Glass or other heavier materials can be replaced with a lighter, TPE-made product so you can fit more inventory on delivery trucks. Contact us today.

Specific grades are available to meet food contact requirements and also as nucleating additives for physical foaming agents. EXCELITE VS POWDER • Enables a greater level of density control, through consistent distribution in the polymer • Simplifies and optimizes resin compounding capabilities (PVC dry blends) • Enables greater control over foaming and expands processing window when re-introducing regrind • Clean and highly accurate dosing process, with fewer of the health and safety concerns that can become apparent with powder CFAs EXCELITE VS PELLET • Being significantly more concentrated, Excelite additive enables lower total cost to foam • Can achieve lower density, less carrier influence • Finer and tighter cell structure through better additive distribution • Improved linear consistency of cell structure as ColorMatrix pumps continually meter output, giving greater stability over material dosing • Improved plant working capital as lower let down ratios means less material is consumed and reduces inventory holdings TECHNICAL SUPPORT • Avient has a market leading service team which understands foaming processes, we assist customers to deliver performance and production efficiencies with Excelite™ technology • Please contact your local Avient representative for additional information on our line of foaming additives www.avient.com Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

Compact cars need to keep a lower price point, yet the auto industry’s exacting safety standards for interior materials – and the OEM’s own commitment to quality for discerning customers – meant the design team would be challenged to find a suitable material for interior surfaces.  Fabric offered the qualities designers wanted, but the raw material cost was too high and secondary manufacturing processes too costly for the car’s intended price point.
